General Biomedical Engineering
IIT Department of Biomedical Engineering
Information about degree programs, research areas, department contacts, course schedules, and more.
BMEnet
The Biomedical Engineering Network
Bioethics.net
This is the Internet’s first and largest site on bioethics, produced and supported by the Center for Bioethics at the University of Pennsylvania. Its audience is both scientist and layperson, and it includes a mix of content designed to appeal to both types. It includes current articles in full-text from the American Journal of Bioethics online as well as tables of contents of other ethics journals. It’s updated daily with today’s bioethics headlines. Its only drawback is its design, which has little logical order and small type.
Biomedical Information Resources & Services - by Subject
The Karolinksa Institute Library in Sweden created this subject-oriented list of online biomedical resources. It functions as a biomedical web portal, putting sites in categories such as Molecular Biology, History of Biomedicine, and Biophysics and Spectroscopy. As it’s a portal, the quality of individual sites varies as does their currency and value but as a collection of resources, the quantity and focus is remarkable.
Infomine
INFOMINE is a virtual library of Internet resources relevant to faculty, students, and research staff at the university level. It contains useful Internet resources such as databases, electronic journals, electronic books, bulletin boards, mailing lists, online library card catalogs, articles, directories of researchers, and many other types of information.

Genetics Education Center
This is a guide to Genetics information on the web. It was assembled by the Genetics Education Center at the Kansas University Medical Center.
Cloning Webliography
Webliography of resources on animal cloning, including articles, books, organizations, professional societies, and other websites. This site won the ICCMP contest for best web site in biotechnology.
Genetic Engineering News
The online version of this bioindustry publication provides abstracts and highlights rather than full-text but it does provide helpful outside links to conferences and industry leaders.
Genome Gateway from Nature Magazine
Nature magazine provides, through this gateway, links to all their papers published on genome research, categorized by organism, as well as outside links to all things genome related.
Genomics Glossary
This site is both searchable and browsable by term, and within entries for terms are links to related terms and sites. The site is an excellent resource.
Human Genome Project Information
This site details progress on the Human Genome Project, a joint effort since 1990 of the Department of Energy and the National Institutes of Health. It is browsable with links to research, project information, news, publications, and issues, and also searchable.
